Serves 4
Ingredients
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, finely diced
  • 1 tsp cardamom pods, crush pods and extract seeds
  • 2 Tbs Olive oil
  • 1 onion – finely diced
  • 4 garlic cloves – finely diced
  • 1-2 fresh red chilies – finely diced
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 whole star anise
  • 1½ cups green or French du puy lentils
  • 4 cups hot water
  • 3 tsp fish sauce
  • Juice of 1-2 lemons
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Big handful fresh chopped coriander
  • For the Fish:
  • 4 white fish fillets, skin on – I love sea-bass, red snapper, haddock, halibut
  • 2 Tbs olive oil & seasoning
Instructions
  1. Lentils:
  2. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat.
  3. Add tomatoes, cardamom seeds, onion, garlic, chilies, turmeric and star anise. Cook until onion softens and the whole kitchen smells stunningly aromatic, about 5 mins stirring occasionally.
  4. Add lentils and water and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender and almost all the water has been absorb. The lentils will be quite thick, about 25-35 mins.
  5. Turn off heat and stir in fish sauce, lemon juice, coriander and season to taste. Cover until ready to serve.
  6. Fish:
  7. Turn on broiler & cover sheet pan with foil. Rub fish fillets with olive oil, place on sheet pan and season skin with salt and pepper. Cook under broiler until fish is white and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes – watch closely.
  8. Serving
  9. Plate lentils and top with fish fillet. Optional garnish: pan fry sliced red onions and mix in some fresh coriander leaves.

Cooks’ Note:
These are delicious just by themselves or as a side dish. When reheating lentils, be careful to heat slowly, stirring occasionally and keep covered.
